Our Favorite FOUR Year Old!

Last week we wished a happy fourth birthday to our beloved firstborn, Davis Reid! We're were excited to celebrate this new milestone in his life with him and are hoping that FOUR is going to FABULOUS! Our newly minted four year old is such a smart, silly, resourceful, friendly, absolutely adorable kid. I know this blog has focused on Adam Adam Adam for the past year - time restraints made it hard enough for me to keep up with just the monthly updates on baby's development, as you have seen! - but this precocious preschooler certainly doesn't take a backseat in our hearts.  He's not above using his cuteness to get what he wants, either.  When asking for an ice cream cone before dinner recently, he followed up with "look at my cute doggie eyes." Haha!  Well, he didn't get what he wanted, but he sure knows how to turn up the charm!   Davis has become so much more independent in the past year, for better or worse, as my attention has so often needed to be directed toward the needs of a baby.  I really wanted to make his birthday this year special and give him some special time to do something fun just with Mommy, no babies allowed.  So the two of us went by ourselves to get some Dunkin Donuts and go to this huge indoor playground in our area.  While we have been there before, this time I was able to go into the play structure and actually play with him instead of sitting on a bench with Adam and watching.  We both enjoyed it SO much, although I was feeling my age trying to keep up with him!  After Daddy got home from work, Grammy and Grandad and some friends of ours arrived and we enjoyed pizza, gift opening, and Curious George cake.  Davis was really excited about his birthday this year and had a great time.  He blew out all the candles with one blow and especially enjoyed playing with his new Stomp Rocket out in the driveway, on a beautiful, sunny, warm March day in the 70s - no one could have wished for nicer weather on their birthday. Davis, we love watching you grow!  You always have our hearts!
